You Won't Believe The Poker Hands I Played!!! Must See! Poker Vlog Ep 71 

That river bluff vs the straight was *savage* top tier play

This VLOG is well organized, has great story telling, very informative, and entertaining. Good stuff man!

Probably your best insightful vlog. Loved the insight you gave to your reasoning behind your actions, including live tells and profiling players. Absolutely great!

Brad this is probably some of the best play I’ve ever seen from you, you quickly figured just about every player at the tables style and a few tells. You also picked your spots extremely well. Well done Mr Owen this is why you are where you are today. Hope to one day be as successful in this game as you are.

Aside from booking the win, I want to say this was an extremely entertaining episode Brad; really enjoyed it. the format of losing the first hand then coming back for a win was akin to any exciting stallone or van damme movie. There might be something to that. To be fair, you did catch cards and outflop some great starting hands of the villains, but your analysis of those hands to extract the max, was insightful. It reminded me of Johnny Vibes protege's recent point that you can't force the game, you have to be sharp and ready to exploit those J7 hands. And in this episode you were up against some real talent, it wasn't your average 1-2 game. So jolly well done sir! I join the growing crowd in saluting your success and insist you continue the study, learn more, earn more, and continue to entertain your fans along the way. good luck out there.

"There's a ton of action, so it's really important to run good.". Words of wisdom right there! :)

I’m still not even sure I believe it.

Brad, my favorite hand and analysis was the 95 full house. Totally on point

Brad I want to thank you for giving me the encouragement to play at the casino! started with 100 walked away with 537! thanks man! keep up the good work!

Absolutely SICK river bluff

"Run into pocket aces which I've read is a pretty good hand" lol

Remember when you drew that map about a dozen vlogs ago or so; it was a map showing the country of Value-town? I see you finally put it to good use. Good run on the stream.

One of my favorite vlogs also. You played like a real seasoned vet, tour reads were spot on and your play had depth and thought. I feel like this every now and then, mostly I dream of being in the zone more. I love learning from you. You relay the wheres and whys very simply, clearly and concisely. Jiggities all the way man. Love the channel❤️✌🏼🍀

You are the only content creator that I know of who’s video titles look like click bait, but they aren’t. They are awesome

Hey Brad, I’m relatively new to your channel and I have to say I really enjoy it. I have been playing poker off and on since 1998 but only played 3/6 hold em at the Tropicana in AC. I live in Maryland and play at Horseshoe. Your videos have drastically helped my play. My problem is that I’m too conservative and watching you has made me understand the game a lot better. Thanks for your videos!

wow...that $1100 raise w J8h! Nooooice

The look on Baptiste's face at 16:48 when you bluff Snuggie is priceless! Great consistent play! Shows what a pro can do with crazy, action players. And then the pro flips his cards up out of turn...🙄 Great vlog!

Brad I just discovered your channel this morning!I have been binge watching ever since! Love it!

I don’t know how brad does not have millions of subs. This is by far the most interesting and informative poker channel on RU-vid. You’re gonna have millions of subs in no time brad

2:29 when you have to do a 1 on 1 coaching session with a dude messaging minors LOL

Great job Brad. Always been thinking of you as bit of a tight player (not a bad thing keep printing that calling station money $$$) super stoked to see you bluffing in massive spots. great Vlog!

J8 hearts you sicko... for real though you killed that game, well done 👍

Cool shit man I'm a regular listener to the poker guys and it was cool to see you all collaborate

Just binge watched all your videos and incorporated a ton of things I learned from your channel into my last session at the gardens casino in Los Angeles, Booked a $1500 win playing 5-5NL. Biggest hand of the night, pocket 3’s, drilled the flop quad 3’s and got max value. Floated some flops with pairs and back door draws. Made some big bluffs in the right spots. Thank you brudda! Keep up the good work 👍🏼

If you're only targeting the Q and J of hearts on that 4 flush board with the nuts should you not just be betting so any H 2pair or set could make a call?

Two years too late, but I got to say this is the best I have ever seen anyone play on a vlog or any youtube video ever.

Just subscribed! Really glad I found your channel. I'm learning a nice little bit too, and very entertaining!

I'm so goddamn proud of you Brad. I thought you were an uncreative nit but that hand at 16:28 changed my mind. Beautiful play! You represent fullhouses credibly, because when you raise flop and then just call the turn bet, you can for sure have 99/TT/T9/K9 (not raising the turn because you are worried about QJ from your opponent). Really great!! However the Ad4d hand on 574KA should bet smaller on the river because you can't have many bluffs. Instead of betting 500 at 19:27 you should bet 300 or so to give your opponent a better price.

The only channel I give a like before even watching:) Thx Brad, keep em coming.

I like your play and thinking process at the 75 Hand! Well played!

This might be the most under-rated video on your channel. Absolutely amazing.

I can see that as usual I'm behind the times... but I'm here nonetheless. I just had to see what all the fuss was about.

When you were leaving the cage, I heard Doug Polk's voice in my head saying, "Look at that MASSIVE FUCKIN PILE OF CASH!" Nice win, man. And it looks like you're really playing well. Keep it up!

DAMN!!!! everyone needs a snuggie.... do you think that to yourself now before sitting at a table? Where's My Snuggie. There He Is. Lol

Cool to have a different perspective knowing all the hands as you talk through your action.

9:20- actually 7,8 of hearts is the nuts

Turning your cards over to save that Snuggie guy from having to show his rags was a class move! I just learned something about live poker. Great vlogs, man.

19:40 Andrew looked at you as if he' saying:"Nice Bluff"

dude I love the vlog, Ive learned so much..... won the last two times i went because of you lol, just in time for Christmas! Got all my gifts on the house haha....

Thanks Brad and Jonathan 😸 Really excited about the free membership. Nice score, you played above the rim throughout the PokerGuys session.

Great video Brad. And well done for the session

@14:30 Reverent what a great end line 2 that movie, "Revenge is in Gods hands"

thatta boy

Brad Owen: Poker Mastermind! Don't be surprised if they don't ask you back. Awesome play.

Love your blog and analysis. Granted I have no idea of the style of play of any of these guys, however, on your nut flush hand versus his 1010 (flush), I think all things being equal, you need to make a small bet on the river. Any small bet is basically pricing in any opponent flush, set, two pair, and in rare cases top pair (if player is terrible). The only benefit of a check is for you to hope that he has the Q flush or you know he will bluff at the pot. Additionally, some may see your small bet as a blocker bet (i.e. you hold no flush or a terrible one) and he may go over the top - very possible. Think you left a nice amount on the table there.

Brad, you played masterfully this session. Getting the straight to fold was absolutely amazing. Very well done. This session just shows how frustrating poker can be (like golf). You can be crushing it, and then one iffy play (where you lost the $750) can really decrease the profit.

There goes 30 minutes of productivity at work! Awesome work Brad :-D

Watched a lot of your videos but this was quality. Really showed how good a player you are some of the decisions you made

Brad, I had a straight flush last night. The other guy had a high end flush ( I think it was an ace), it all happened so quick, but before I realised what had happened we both check after the river. Dang! I think I tap the table out of habit (not actually checking) I was also tired, because it was very late. Anyway, not a bad hand! I wish I had gone all in on the river to gain another couple of hundred dollars. But, can't complain... what a hand!

Whoa...great river bluff with the J8. I thought the loose fitting snuggie would donk-snap call. Shows what I know. Great playing! *golf clap*

Brad thanks for the great content best of luck to you and the crew (Neeme etc) at the tables.

That is the best I've seen Brad play. Awesome job

"I read on 2+2 pocket aces is a really good starting hand" 😂😂

Thank you for producing awesome, quality content!

"Snuggie, the best player at the table, the best player at most tables, was about to get bluffed off the win by - of all people - "Bad" Brad." - Brad's autobiography when talking about this hand :3

Jesus Brad you absolutely beasted it. That QThh hand betting turn and riv for thin val was beautiful

Pretty sweet to have that seat in that game, you played great too.. well done!

That J8 hand was the best bluff you could possibly have there. Blocking 98, J9, T9 and QJ. Well played.

that bluff on the river against the straight.. insane hand man

From Dublin Ireland,,, been watching you for a year now,, I Ave learned a lot from your blogs,, keep up the good work Brad, and I ll lend you the family leaphrecaun for some extra run good, 😉

as usual.. top of the line commentary, thought processes,, etc,, which DO help players at my level.. really liked the mapping out of what Snuggie could have at various times. ive played guys like that, and how you describe the situations gave some genuine clarity to situations i face/will face-whenever the HELL Las Vegas opens up again.. YGBFKM.. and who doesnt want to play against a guy named after diapers...???

I really enjoy your videos and your narration! I've not been to Portland Meadows but have considered visiting there. Thanks keep up the awesome content and keep winning!

Certainly had some run good, but also some well played poker there. Congrats, you deserved it!

Really enjoyed the mix in commentary and hearing the hosts. Great job again!

You know it’s a great session when you don’t play many big hands but are still up a ton. Very well played throughout.

Hello Brad i have watching many of your videos, i learned more then i can retain at this moment. The thing is that i noticed that some times you take your read on the opposition with as right and not a guess and you over read and toss away great hands.

Great video! There were some really great value bets to people you know don't want to be bluffed live, lol. Hey, I want to thank you for tipping the cashier on the way out. While I know it may be easier to tip the dealers at the tables when you are in the ''moment'' during a monster hand. My wife actually is a cashier at the HardRock casino in Tulsa, OK. I am a poker player, but still know that not a lot of poker players tip cashiers when cashing out on cash games or tournaments. I personally feel grateful to them when I am sat at a winning table for tournaments. I know that they have a computer random assignment generator picking the seats, but still feel like they gave me the ticket for that seat on that particular night. So cheers! On behalf of my wife, lol

Brad your playing a lot better. Like your analysis

that raise against the loose player with the straight was insane!!!! quite a fold but WOW.

why would you check , that guy is never betting there you should have took him to value town he would have called

Impressive play! This style massively suits you

Do you know something Brad, as soon as you pulled the trigger and raised to £1100, I was ready for villain to snap call with a straight. That's not me saying your move is bad because in all honesty not many show up with less than a full house in that spot! I also don't love his river bet considering how face up his hand after he led the turn. Fair play to him for folding because your line was extremely credible and you had the image to back it up. There are so many bad players who wouldn't even fold there but theoretically it's an easy one. Well played, good move.

Hearing the thought process helps me a lot

This is 2 years ago, but after seeing so many of your other more recent vlogs it was really interesting seeing you in play from this table view. 👏🎖👏

Great vlog I'm from PDX and was sad I couldn't try and come play with you and Andrew. I do recognize 2 of the players seeing them around at poker rooms in the area and I gotta say that woulda been a tough lineup

God damnnnn is this the same brad Owen I watched a couple months ago? Great session bro.

Great vid BTW! Been following you for a few months now and its good to see you making some moves that paid off.

holy moly you played absolutely fantastic man! That bluff on Snuggie required some stones well played

super classy move and well played for tabling your hand first against snuggie. much respected.

Snuggie was trying to look at your cards multiple times. 🤣

Gotta stop everything and watch brads vlog

Outstanding commentary not a lot of BS I really appreciate this channel thanks buddy

It’s wild to see you’re only at 42k followers at this time. Exciting to see what 3+ more years hold for ya!

Brad it's Friday in Vancouver Canada july15 I'm watching your video to get inspired.hope your Stalin's I'm on a 4 game rush hope your having a great summer

Probably the best i've seen you play.

glad you liked Portland, I play at Meadows, nicest room in town.

Your very knowledgeable and great to watch such a good player at work,, nice job Brad, peace from Ireland.

Baptiste face says it all when Brad raises the dude with the straight and bluffs the shit outta him. Was priceless

Brad calls out his poker hands like a book by Charles Dickens! Good job letting the players tell part of the story.

Great vlog Brad, and nice win!!! My cats where transfixed on the video, then a Doug Polk Vlog came on and they both went to take another nap...😉😂😂😂👍

Awesome read and nice bet on river with QhTh

Couldn’t help but notice the Maple Leafs hat. They’ve been my team since I was a very young kid.🇨🇦

Great job on the hand breakdowns.

The respect. That boy brad ran the table, based on these hands. Lovely feeling. Good stuff

Brad, that j8 punt may get you an award for best kicker come the poker bowl. Keep that leg warmed up in the meantime lol

First day crew! [is that a thing?]

Thanks for Poker Guys Vlog introduction.

Love these videos. Savage play. Picking up those tellsI Really enjoy your commentary and explaining your thought process.

Somebody was clearly in another zone compared to the table. Nice win!

I'm not sure what the rules are at that room, but Snuggie shouldn't be allowed to raise in that spot anyway (when Brad flips prematurely). In some rooms, your cards are supposed to be visible at all times; and if you watch again, Snuggie is totally covering his cards.
